What a different world! I can understand the tradition bit about the neck rings but you still have to ask yourself why are the young girls still doing it? Try to find a good pharmacist for that throat Kevin - take care you two and thanks for the wonderful photos
Trippin' Mate, when do you type out the bloody thing? And do you take notes as you go? Are you perhaps harbouring a tiny Indian lady (as a secretary) in your (large) suitcase?
Whatever, magnificent....
Versatile travel clothing, eh? Might be time to invest in an Icebreaker shirt. Cool in the summer and warm in the winter... Glad you guys are having fun.
Hey, either you're doing such a fantastic job in describing everything that there's need to visit or you're increasing the bucket list of all that read your blog! You certainly bring Bagan and all its sights and sounds alive to my corner of the globe, thank you and good luck with that sore throat
I can't get over the sun block beauty treatment - are you sure it's for that and not sun protection? I used to drink the cane juice squeezed with a similar contraption in Costa Rica in the mid 70s - fascinating to see it still in use today. I bet the 15 hour bus ride will be a bit of a mission, but there again you're still young at heart! Just loving the blog, thank you
Intrepid travellers, yo!
The photos and write up conjure an impression you are treading where no tourist has ventured! It's fascinating and I can't wait for the next installment
Trippin' Mate, sounds like you're having a great time! In some ways, I envy you guys; new culture, interesting places and people.... great fun. I'm stuck in draught ridden Queensland, one days rain since we moved in - 8th August. Same story though, wherever I am, the weather is good (with the possible exception of your own lovely country, where we did see rain!), but the stress is on at the moment. Sound system and new security system in and working. Pool in , concrete and 'coping' tomorrow.(dry, yellow grass in the back is just about still recognizable as grass and not straw!) Electrician back every couple of days for work connected to the pool or the inside of the house, or the set-up for the solar (20 panels going up (5kw) next week), so all is chaos and I'm probably spending more each day than if I were away!
Anyway, have a great time - keep me 'blogged'. xx
We have contact !!! Great blogs to give me an insight into Myanmar. Keep them coming. Mallie looks quite young in the photos - the tropics suit him - will probably get his fat off. I am off to Fiji today.

the oldest they are the less happy they are to see you. Even you cut your hair and wear orange clothes you are to tall and to much smiling to look like a bonze
Hi Kevin,
I saw Caroline yesterday for about 2 seconds and she told me you were still away but didn\'t say where-now I know! It looks as though the great adventure continues and all the fun that goes with it. I love to read the accounts, it\'s a great start to my day. Keep having fun!

My kind of trip Kevin, sounds like a great trip. I do motorcycle trips like this to different parts of the country twice a year with a group, its a lot of fun.
Were you in LA? How come I didn't hear from you?
Slow boat to china Just stumbled on blog while sorting travel out from Toulouse ,
Good read , looked at doing canel boat ride , x agen with some friends the other year , but my wife recons close quarters living with our lot , could leave to catastrophic results .
Rode my bike along lot from agen , one day for hell of it , and yes can relate .
Great blog , enjoyed it
Wonderful Trip!! Looks like you've both had a simply wonderful trip!!! Enjoy your last days there, and have a safe trip home. Really have enjoyed your blogs!!!
Bali Hi. Another interesting blog. I have been to many of the places you mention over the years - lovely area. In Beziers have a look at the 7 'stair' locks on the canal and if still working the 'escalator' which hauled boats up a slide in a pocket of water. Was having a few teething problems when I was there.
I am off to a seminar in Bali all expenses paid by the Australian Government. Subject 'electoral voting systems'!! Some 25 invitees from Fiji. See you. Robin and Tue.
Lookin' good Nice reporting Big Kev. Hope your colds are gone. Shoulda told you, we went to the most amazing chicken restaurant in Toulouse when we were transiting. Damn!
